Hi, my name is maddogmiked76!

Hello
Answer to the husband who's wife has lost her elbow.
I recently lost my left elbow after a failed elbow replacement surgery revision.
1st operation was in 2015, a revision in 2019 and recently April 2025. Due to living with Hemophilia my joints deteriorate, after 10 years of surgeries my bone in my arm completely crumbled. So I have no elbow, and the surgeon has no plans to try again, so it's splints and slings and pain meds. What a life!! Lol I have to laugh alittle. But as this is new, I may have an update in the future.
But hang in there to those suffering with this, try the best you can to overcome it some how!
